Poll: NBC should cancel Knight Rider to make room for Leno

Post by knightofthephoenix » Tue Dec 09, 2008 10:39 pm

neps just posted this in the "Knight Rider Season Reduced - from 22 to 17" thread.

TV by the Numbers (http://tvbythenumbers.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) has a poll asking viewers which shows NBC should axe to make room for Jay Leno's new show.

73% of all responding so far have picked Knight Rider. Kath and Kim is coming in a distant 2nd at 49%, Biggest Loser at 39%.

Please take a moment and vote for any other shows besides Knight Rider.

If Leno was a real car guy he would refuse to take Knight Riders spot...

Very very bad news. With Leno being given the 10pm time slot all week it doesn't look good for KR. This means NBC has less hours to fill and more programming to choose from. In other words, the competition for those 8pm and 9 pm slots has just increased b/c NBC doesn't need shows to put in the 10pm slots b/c of Leno's talk show. There's a greater pool of shows to select from now. Unless KR gets a serious boost in ratings after the hiatus I think its a goner.

I don't see how Jay Leno's new show would be interfering with Knight Rider at all. He'll still be host of The Tonight Show for another year, with his new show rumored to possibly premiere next Fall. Knight Rider first has to clear the hurdle of being renewed for a second season (and recent comments from Gary Scott Thompson all but confirm it will).

And secondly, this is just an opinion poll. It's NBC's opinion on whether they should axe the show that really matters. Hopefully things like this won't influence them too much.

Where are they getting the people for this poll?

When I voted last night, Knight Rider had 883 votes against it. Now, I see 1091 votes against it. That is an additional 200 people in an overnight period.

I'm have to vote twice a day to catch up.:)

Sorry, but it seems to me you can't really take anything he says at face value.

"Hell No!!!" They should not cancel this show. Even though, I had this strange feeling that all of these things that are happening to "KR08" (Mid-season break, re-tooling & season reduction) were going to happen after all. But I really hope that this show does make it to another season & beyond, if it's possible...

Law and Order and The Biggest Loser.....the latter being a giant (pardon the pun) waste of time.
